At the beginning of the war it was a thriving farm with a nuui and his wife, six sous and one daughter. j Then the blow fell, and all the men In France were mobilized; the father 'and Ills two eldest hoys went off at • once -four hours after the decree of mobilization was received In the vil- lage. The farmer hud no time to put his house in order, but left the farm in the hands of his wife and the two big boys, aged fifteen and sixteen. Tiia man and his two eldest sons are now dead, the two next are in the army, and the poor mother, a wreck physical- ly and mentally, cries all day. The girl and tho two little boys do th^ whole work of tho farm. The young- est, who is only ten years old, cannot accomplish much, but he does nvan- uge to watch the cows and to carry cans of milk or baskets of butter. I see the girl sometimes; she is perfectly well, never coniplains and never asks for anything except oc- casionally for a â- Ki>.rm petticoat, or a hood to keep her head apd neck wrivm and dry when she Is working In the fttilds.
